They heard often of the conversion of England ; and certainly they did hope that the time would come when the hands which were lifted up against them in religious controversy would embrace those of the opposite Church in unity. It was indeed a blessed vision. " But," said Dr Manning, " I fear it is far off." Almighty God might do it in one instant; but they rust not look for it without labour and toil. There was too much perversion of intellect, unbelief, ob stinacy, stubborn prejudice, and hardness of heart :o allow them to look for so Divine a development. Christ had sent them to labour, to pray, and to wait—to do what they could while they were on earth towards so blessed a result. The time for such en advancement had not yet come.

During the day, Mr Roberts, assessor of fire losses ; Mr Timms, of the Couaty Fire Office; Mr T. Hodson, of the Atlas; Mr Cless, Mr Hearne, and Mr C; White of the County, attended for the purpose, if possible, of striking an average as to tha extent of property destroyed, and considering the best means of recovering the salvage. It is probable that several thousand pounds' worth of goods, more especially rich carpets, Utrecht velvets, and silks, may be recovered, much of which, though injured by fire and water, will yet realise a considerable cum. The assessors now put down the loss of pros perty, exclusive of the buildings, at from £150,000 to £200,000. Most of the buildings were formed of solid brickwork and masonry, so that in several instances the walls will not have to be rased to the ground, but can be re-roofed and re-floored. Tile eight large warehouses of Messrs. Tapling and Co., carpet manufacturers, in Gresham-street alone were supported on 24 iron columns, of about 16ft. in height. These columns were irrespective of the supports to the upper floors, as they were built in a very peculiar manner, and were considered fire proof. The ceilings of the ground floor warehouses —eight in number—were spanned by brick and concrete arches, braced together by ironwork, and were considered to be sufficiently strong to prevent any fire, no matter how large, from rising into any of the upper floors. Unfortunately, in spite of the precautions thus taken, they proved of no avail in arresting the progress of the fire. With such fury did the flames extend, that the 9•inch walls afforded no safe resistance; and from Messrs. Tapling's the flames appear to have blown through the side wall of Haberdashers' Hail. Several thousand tons of water were thrown upon the buildings, and saturated the costly contents, but a great quantity of the goods will probably turn up as what is technically termed " good salvage." The public will learn with pleasure that several pictures sup posed to have been destroyed were saved through the instrumentality of Mr S wanton, foreman of the C. district, and Mr C. White, of the County Fire Office. Amongst the number is the portrait of Sir George Whitmore, Lord Mayor of London in 1831, and which escaped the great fire of London in 1666. In Haberdashers' Hall the stained glass windows and carved oak figures, which embellished the grand staircases, have been almost entirely de stroyed. Fortunately, in the lower hall a few of the figures by Grinling Gibbons will be recovered. The firemen were engaged until late last night in recovering from the ruins numerous pieces of carpet and other valuable articles. Mr Cocks, the British Acting Consul, states in his report this year on the trade of Islay that, though little has been done as yet in the cultivation of cotton in that part of Peru, vast quantities of land are lying waste in the valleys on the coast in that southern district of the country, and which cannot be made available for any prOduce so likely to be profitable as cotton. The coat of conveyance has hitherto been a bar to cultivation of this plant in the interior, bat it is proposed to cultivate it in the fertile valley of lamb°, which is within two or three leagues of Megia. Megia is about 12 leagues south of Islay, and is intended to be substituted for that place as the future port of this part of Peru. A railroad is in progress from Megia to Arequipa. The imports of Islay in 1863 amounted to 2,100,698 dots., and the exports to 2,630,890 dots. ; the( xports chiefly wool and bark, the imports cotton and woollens, paying a duty of 20 per cont. Among the minor exports likely to increase is rats.nia, the root of a lush growing in the environs of At quipa ; it is a stringent, and yields a red dye, is used in medicine, and, it is believed, in the " manufacture" of port wine. The imports arc kept down by protective duties, even though there is no interest to protect. For instance, there is an import duty of ld per lb. on flour, and this in a country producing hardly any wheat ; were it not for large supplies from Chili, the inhabitants of the coast of Peru could not well live. Oaly immigration, or rather colonisa tion, and railroads are wanted to develope the abun dant resources of this remarkable country. Peru is one vast mine, of which the hand of man hitherto has only scratched the surface. The great eastern Peruvian territory especially has been much over. looked. Two parts, the department of the Amazo nas and the littoral province of Loreto, are among the richest in Peru. There can be little doubt that the short sighted policy of Brazil will be changed, and that the Amazon river at no distant period will be open to all nations; and when the railroad of the west coast of Peru shall also be extended into the centre of the country, the rich _products of the interior will have a chance of egress to Europe, and the manufactures of Europe an equal chance of in gress. The Montana, or region of the woods, pos sesses sources of inexhaustible wealth in the richness of its vegetation, the colossal size and peculiar character of its trees, its balsamic and medicinal products, its fruits and substances exotic to all other countries. The department of Amazonas is rich in plants and vegetables. Among them are sour cane, which properly prepared cures the intermittent fever ; coffee equal to that of Caravaya, which is perhaps the best in the world ; cotton, tobacco, bar basco, the root of which is used by the savages for fishing, because thrown into the water it operates as a narcotic; semi, the leaves of which give a blue dye; huito, or jagua, a high and thin shrub, of the trunk of which spoons are made, and the fruit dyes the hair a strong black; llanchama, the bark of which is soflexible that after cutting and pounding it stretches like cloth; quimba, a tree 40ft high, its fruit not un like cotton ; sapaja, a tree like palm, the leaves of whichfrom their hardness serve for combs,opaque like tortoiseshell. The province of Loreto, in the north of Peru, is so extensive that it almost equals in sur face all the rest of the departments put together. It produces the plantain, serving instead of bread, of which there is none. The sugar cane grows with the greatest luxuriance, and it is sufficient to plant it once to have constant yields from the roots. Coca yields six crops a year. This is a plant de. serving to be more generally known on account of its extraordinary qualities. A Peruvian will en. dure the severest labour while chewing its leaves and accompany a horse or mule for days together up hill and down, and through the deepest sand, with scarcely any other refreshment than chewing coca. Its effects are said to be truly surprising. Tea or a decoction of the leaves of this plant is a most wholesome, refreshing, and agreeable beverage. Tobacco is cultivated the whole length of the Hul yields magnificent cro p s, p art of which is toga, and e% ported to Brazil. Cotton grows almost sponta neously in the neighbourhood of the houses, and serves the inhabitants; gray shirting is an cuticle of exchange in this province. Coffee grows with extraordinary luxuriance, the branches being borne down with he weight of numerous berries. The population of the province of Loreto, counting all the Indians reduced or submitted to the Govern- ment is about fifty thousand, and there are thirty or forty thousand savages. Its commerce is yet in its infancy ; the exports are almost wholly by the Amazon, the imports chiefly from the Pacific ports, owing to Brazilian import duties. In hloyobamba, the capital of Loreto, more than three thousand women are oce,upied in spinning cotton, the clews or balls of which are current money. The Amazon, the Ucayali, and the Pachitea are navigable for a great distance. So stupendous is the mass of water which the monarch of rivers bears to the Atlantic PRICE ...4d. STAMPED ....sd. Ocean that it exceeds that pf eight great rivers of Asia put together—namely, the Euphrates, Indus, Ganges, Oby, Lena, Amur, Yellow River, and the Yang-tse in Coins. So deep is it, at least in its upper pirt that no bottom has been found at a depth of 721 feet. Ps declivity is so imperceptible and slow that were not its volume of water so powerful it would with difficulty flow. Scarcely is its deecent in the space of 200 leagues 101-, feet— that is to say, 1 27th of an iach ir, I,oooft. From the Atlantic, as fur as Jaen de Bracamoros—latitude 5 deg. 30 min„ and longitude 75 deg. 40 min. west of 1 3 ,ris, it has no c ttaracts or currents which im pede navigation. At that place its surface is 1,240 ft above the level at Para. The all lents of the Ama'. zon form among themselves tens of thousands of leagues of navigable rivers, an immense net cover ing more than two-thirds of South America. Naval and Military Intelligence. A handsome monument to the officers, noncom missioned officers, and private soldiers of the 75th (Stirlingshire) Regiment has been lately erected in the cemetery at Stirling by the officers of the rea giment and by many of those who formerly served in it. This monument is a plain Runic cross, 12ft. high, of polished red granite. On the front face is the crest of the regiment, being a garter encircling the word Stirlingshire and the number 75, sup ported by two thistles, and surmounted by a crown, and beneath it, on the shaft and pedestal, the fol lowing words incised and gilt—" In memory of Col. R. D. Halifax ; Captains E. W. S. Knox, A. Chan cellor; Lieuts. A. Harrison, J. R. S. Fitzgerald, C. R. Rivers, E. V. Briscoe, 0, C. N. Faithful, W. Crozier; Surg. J.

Erected by the officers of the regiment and by their old comrades." On the reverse face of the cross is the regimental badge —the Royal Tiger, granted for hard service in India half a century ago, when 300 men and officers were left in the breach of Bhurtpore. Under the tiger aro the words "India," " Seringapatam," "Delhi," "Relief of Lucknow," and then there are thus briefly recorded the deeds of the regiment in the performance of which the brave men fell to whom the memorial has been erected :—" The 75th (Stirlingshire) Regiment served with the army which besieged and took the city of Delhi, and it after wards formed part of the force which relieved Alighur, Agra, and the garrison of Lucknow, A D. 1857-8." Uuderneath this is inscribed, "Thine, 0 Lord, is the glory and the victory." The 75th Re giment was raised at Stirling in the latter part of the last century, and was then a kilted regiment, Having been recently permitted to adopt the county name, it was thought desirable by the officers of the regiment to erect this monument (which had been long contemplated) in the county town. Provost M'Murrie and the Town Council of Stirling cordially assisted in carrying out their wishes, and granted the best site that could be chosen for the memorial. Mr. E. Richardson, Harewood-square, London, designed the memorial. Colonel Mitchell, Commandant Royal Marines at Woolwich, yesterday retired from the service, with the honorary grade of major-general, and is slice ceeded by Col. Williams Friend Hopkins, C. 8,, A,D.C. to her Mejeaty, who will assume the duties in a few days, Colonel Joseph Oates Travers, C. 8., late Assist.-Adjte General, acting ad interim. The reinforcements selected to augment the 12th Regiment and the 43d Light Infantry, together with the other detachmen's under orders to proceed to New Z .gland, will embark at Gravesend to-morrow on board the chartered troopship Light Brigade, under the superintendence of the effi2yrs of the staff from Chatham garrison. The troops have been fur nished with their sea kits, and have been medically inspected. and also inspected by lkijor-General Sir Robert Walpole, K. 0.8. The ordinary drills and field exercises usually carried out in Woolwich garrison yesterday gave place to a series of rustic sports and gymnastic ex ercises, held on tho Royal Artillery barrack field, in commemoration of the joint anniversaries of the battles of the Alma in 1851 and Delhi in 1857. The proceedings were under the sanction and patro nage of Major-Gen. E. C. Warde, C. 8., Comma's. dant. The Committee of management consisted of Col. Wodehouse, C.B, Major Ord, Captains Calvert, It, Gore, Keate, and Gibbs ; Lieuts. Walker, J. C. Robinson, and W. Crawford ; Capt. Lardner Clarke, superintendent of the gymnasium, secretary and treasurer ; clerks of the course, Captain Williams, 11,A., A.D.C., Capt. Nangle, R.A., Deputy-Assist. Quartermaster General and Mc. G. Stewart, R.A. ; starters, Capt. Calvert, R.H.A., and Major Hay, Brigade Major, R.A. The sports occupied the entire day, commencing at 11 a.m., and, with an interval of an hour for dinner, continuing until 6 p.m. Many thousands of persons were present, and a space in the immediate vicinity of the grand stand and booth, appropriated for ladles only, was kept select by admission on the presentation of tickets obtained at the Deputy-Quartermaster-General's office, which were liberally supplied. The garrison bands of music were in attendance. The sports consisted of throwing the cricket ball and heavy shot, flat race, hop, step, and jump, hurdle race, wrestling, sack race, three-legged race for mon and boys, &c. The prizes were contributed by the officers of the garrison. Her Majesty's steam storeship Supply yesterday returned to Wool wich from the Mediterranean,laden with returned stores, in temporary charge of Master- Commander Fox. Her commander, Bawden, having terminated his sick leave, yesterday reported him. self at the Commodore'stoffice, in order to resume his command. Commander Bawden has been invalided 'rom a severe attack of rheumatic fever, but is now convalescent. The stem of the iron frigate Bellerophon, having been completed at the smithery in Chatham dock yard, has been removed to the factory, where it is undergoing the cutting and planing process previous to being fixed in its place. Unlike the other iron frigates, the stem of the Bellerophon is forged in three separate pieces, and is the largest work of the kind ever undertaken at Chatham dockyard. Its gross weight is nearly 30 tons, but this will be very considerably reduced during the time it is undergo• ing the necessary preparation before it can be fitted in its place. The peculiarlormation of the bow of the Bellerophon, which resembles nothing so much as the lower part of a capital S, renders the operation of smoothing and cutting it a difficult and somewhat tedious undertaking, but some additional powerful machinery has recently been erected at Chatham dockyard, to be used in operations of this kin& Some new machinery, of a more powerful kind than any hitherto iu use at Chatham, has recently been erected in the factory adjoining the dock in which the Bellerophon is building, to be used in the pre paration of the 6-inch and other armour plates destined to incase that vessel, - which, according to her present rate of progress, wi!l be ready to receive her first plate early in the ensuing year.

Yesterday afternoon the ceremony of laying the founda tion stone of the new Church of St. Monica was performed in the presence of a vast concourse of spectators. In con nexion with the site of the intended building we may men tion that the house No. 12, Hoxton-square, now standing there, is at present occupied by the Augustinian Fathers, with Mr Crane at their head, but in the time of Charles 11., it is said was the resort of that monarch for somewhat ques • tionable purposes in a moral point of view, and there are in relation to the old red brick building various tales cf the famous Nell G wynne. In the course of the necessary exca vations in the grounds attached to the house traces were found of a subterranean passage—in some parts quite com plete, with brick walls and arched roof—leading, it is ima gined, to York House, a place not far distant at that period, and another of his Majesty's oft frequented spots. This is the first Augustinian Church in London since the time of Henry VIII. Austinfriars German Church is its predecessor —but it is not now used for'Roman Catholic purposes. The new edifice is to be 124 feet in length by 40 in breadth. The following is an architectural description. The structure is a parallelogram, and is divided into nave and aisles by pitch-pine columns, which support the main principals of the roof. The nave is separated from the chancel by an arch ornamented with marble shafts. The chancel is lighted by nine windows —eight lateral lancets and one rose window of great beauty. Beneath the window the chancel opens upon the side chapels by an arcading of eight arches sup ported on small stone columns. The roof of the chancel will be waggon-headed, and divided into panels by wooden ribs. The root of the nave is open, and exhibits a well conceived piece of construction enriched with ornamental metal work. The nave is entirelylighted from a clerestory worked in Bath stone. Behind the sanctuary is a sacristy 40ft. long by 12 in width. The height of the building is 51ft., and will cost, when completed, about £3,300. Mr Oxborn, of Clapton, is the contractor ; the architect is Mr Welby Pugin, of London and Liverpool. The Rev. Dr. MANNING delivered an address on the con clusion of the customary ceremonies. The act of that day, he said, would leave its mark on the church history of Lon- d Dn. The Catholic Church had inscribed its name upon the corners of the streets of this city. Tho ancient sanctuaries of the Black Friars, the White Friars, the Grey Friars, and the Austin Friars, were well known to all ; but the deluge came, and swept them away. But the Church of G. , cl had refounded them once more, and to-day Austin Friars was created afr. sh. St. Augustine entered once more, and had a mission to perform, and a great ose too, and that with a singular fitness, for between St. Augustine and England theire was a strong connecting link. He bore a great and special message to the English people. It was, that intel lect without faith led to an immense gulph—a fathomless abyss—to the very depths of immorality. "The world by its wisdom knew not God," and the intellect of man, tainted by the entrance of sin, became ignorant of its Maker. The more his intellect was cultivated by pride and vain glory, the more he fell, In Holy Writ there was the example of Solomon. Ho had a clear knowledge of all the sciences, physical, natural, and moral, in proportion as they were then known, and of which men are now so proud, and with which they became so inflated. His end was a terrible fall because he forsook his God. St. Augustine was bout of a Christian mother ; but he was not baptised, and had not been taught his faith. He became learned in the extreme, and, physically, in stature was head and shoulders above the men of his age ; but for the lack of faith he plunged into immorality. Until the ago of 30 years he lived a life of scandal reproach ; and in this was found the cause of his many " confessions." In this there was a lesson for England. There was no country whose men were so proud and so vain of intellectual cultivation ; and none whose men were so unbelieving in everything almost save their favourite applied sciences. Upon these they imagined they could build a tower reaching to heaven, There was no country having so many gifts and so many advantages and yet so blind. This was because intellect was made the measure of truth ; and also because the grace of God bestowed in holy baptism was not dispensed, too often through the carelessness of parents themselves. Was not this selfeevident ? How many were there who could conscientiously say that the " one thing necessary,', as they considered it for their children, was not intellectual cultivation in order to enable them to get on in the world. He spoke to Catholic fathers and mothers, whose desire was so great in this respect as to lead them to send their offspring to schools not under the pastors of their own Church. St. Augustine brought them this message, that intellect, though cultivated, without faith, would only lead men into every description of moral aberration. There were stains en Eng lish society—broad blots, red as scarlet, which came entirely from this species of intellectual pride and the habit of turning the back on faith, There had been men in England —proud, heady, and highminded—who set themselves up as teachers, and who promised that their disciples should know everything. Christ himself, however, said that those who believed should understand, and save in this way there could be no knowledge of salvation, redemption, or grace. Were these matters not mysterious, it could not be a great revelation. If a finite mind could comprehend the matter, a finite mind might have invented it, The marks of Divinity were the mysterious, character, the surprising depth, the inscrutable and impenetrable ideas suggested. The first step to understanding was belief, All eternity hinolipcar" Church was w A a u s gu fe st a i r n f e ul l l i y ve p d er i s n e a cu c t o e u d ri b tr y y a wh s e e r c e t would be spent i n con t emp l at i ng that wh i c h they only now k th il e ew Ca ‘ t ‘ known as the Donatists. They were so numerous, so dominant, that th e i r bi s h ops alone outnumbered the priests of the Catholic Church. So far was the persecution carried that the very bread makers were forbidden to manufacture that article for the use of Catholics. St. Augustine, under these circumstances, used only one weapon. He told them that they wero the Church of that part of Africa ; but how about the Church throughout the world ? Were they united to the Church of the Humans, the Germans, the Spaniards, the Austrians—in fact, with those who worshipped God from the West to the far East ? He asked what participa tion they had in the universality of the church en earth—in fact, what interest they had in that Church which ex tended " from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same," But there was in this a personal applica tion to England. There was a national Church which held communion with no other Church under the sun It sprang up three centuries ago, and undoubtedly, in wealth, social influence, and power, and it was far beyond what the handful of Catholics in this country could boast of, But with all its lordliness it was isolated. There was lie thing common in its doctrines, its sacrifices, or its faith in any particular. The bishops of the English Church were not recognised in France or in Spain, or in many other Conti nental nations, or, in fact, amongst the countries of the world. This was what St. Augustine said then, and that was what ho said to the fathers engaged in this mission now. The channel through which all truth flowed was the channel of the one Church—the Church which was origi. nated on the day of Pentecost, and since then had spread throughout the world ; it rested on that universal basis, and from that it had never been removed. It had knit all nations in one family. There was one other message from St. Augustine—without faith, which was the gift of God, they could do nothing. This was a salutary lesson for all concerned to learn, especially considering that in the pre sent day, they lived amongst a people conscious of their natural, material, and intellectual strength, ig addition to Smith and Co., 5?, Long-acre.

The following is an authentic copy of the corres• pondence between M. von Bismark and Lord Rus sell which has been so frequently discussed in the French and German press : (Translation.) Gastein, Aug. 9, 1864, Your Excellency will have already received the prelimi naries cf peace which were concluded in Vienna on the Ist of this month, together with the convention for the suspen sion of hostilities, since they were despatched from Berlin some days ago. Both documents are now published with the mutual agreement of the throe contracting Powers, and I respectfully request your Excellency to present to the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the accompa nying official note of the same. `Your Excellency will at the same time express to Lord Russell the hope that the British Government will not refuse to recognise the moderation and placability which have been displayed by the two German Powers. During my presence in Vienna Lord Bloomfield cap essed to me the wish of his Government that Prussia and Austria should not impose upon the Danish Crown conditions too hard and unbearable. I answered him that nothing was farther from our inten- tions than an unjust severity, and that we should only make those demands which were the necessary result of the situa tion, In complete understanding with the Imperial Aus trian Government.we have remained true to this purpose; and while on the one hand we were obliged to insist upon the entire cession of the three Duchies as an indispensable demand, without which neither the national feeling would be satisfied nor the sacrifices justified to which the obstinacy of the Danish Government forced 11% so on the other head we have in all other points beyond this been as compliant as possible with the Danish Government. Even now 'Keenly maintain the demand which we had already had to make at the Conference after the Danes themselves had de clared that the relation of a personal union were impossible. That now, after the renewal of the war, there could no longer be any question of the cession of a part of the duchy of Schleswig which we had formerly regarded as admis sible, was not even doubted in Denmark. But we did not:go before our original demand. We demanded no portions of the kingdom of Denmark, although we held completely in our hands a large and important province, and without any possibility for the Danes to deprive us of it. The exchange of the Jutland enclaves was, under such altered circum stances, suggested by the nature of the things ; the continu ance of these enclaves would have been for both sides a great and hardly bearable inconvenience, and, in truth, it could not have been considered as an unreasonable demand if this little direct sacrifice had been demanded from the kingdom of Denmark, which was only indirectly affected by the cession of the Duchies, and in which, in fact, the real cause of the war lay. We preferred to allow an exchange to take place, and to give for the enclaves a complete com pensation in territory; we have even left to Jutland one enclave, Ripen, to which the Danish Plenipotentiaries ascribed especial importance, and by an arrangement of the frontier we have made possible its complete union—a con ct i e o s n s i e o l n f e w e n i c g h , w w a h s d e h i c tat spokeed b e y u t t h e p a w r i t s i e h u o l e f r ly sparingetren strong the h i e n na re spect to this ancient Danish possession. Finally, we allowed the perfectly justifiable demand for war expenses, which had been mentioned at the Conference, to drop, in order not to impose so heavy a burden upon a land which, notwithstanding this, must necessarily go through a finan cial crisis, which wo would wish to lighten for it and help to get over. In thy ahnvp flu+ /Nods are pointed out which we had in view at the establishment of the preliminaries of peace. We did not wish to dismember the ancient and venerable Danish Monarchy, but to bring about a separation from it of parts with which a further union had become impossible through the force of circumstances and events, and we must not pass it over in silence through the fault of the Danish Government. The Danish Monarchy is not im perilled in its existence ; not a single condition of its existence is damaged, is has received no wounds which cannot be healed. It now depends upon the Danish Government and the Danish people whether th e n atural and peaceful relations with its southern neighbour shall be re-established, and whether unrestrained intercourse shall become a source of wellbeing and prosperity on both sides. I respectfully request you to lay th ese considerations be fore Lord Russell, and t o t h a t end I empower you to com municate to him this d espa t c h. Count Bernstorff. VON BIS MARK . Sir—l have received from M. Katte a dispatch of M. de Aug. 20, 1864. Bismark to Count BernstorFil:rteoiggent-hefar with an official copy of the preliminaries of peace signed on the Ist August at Vienna. Her Majesty's G overnmen t wo uld have preferred a total silence instead of th e t ask of com menting on the conditions of the peace. Challenged, however, by M. de Bismark's invitation to admit the moderation and forbearance of the great German Governments, her blajesty's Government feel bound not to disguise their own sentiments on these matters. Her Majesty's Go vernment have indeed from time to time) as events took pla ce , repeatedly declar ed their o p inion that aggression of Aust.' is and Prussia upon Denmark was un just, and that the w ar as wage d by Germany against Den mark had not for its groundwork either that justice or that necessity which are the only bases on which war ought to be undertaken. vV cessary on the part of Germanysth e y deeply lament th a t th Considering the Wa r th erefor e to have been wholly unne ges acqui re d by successful hostilities should have b v e a e n n t u a used by Austria and Prussia to dismember the Danish monarchy, W hi c h it wa s the object of the treaty of 1852 to preserve enti re . Her Majesty's Gov ernme nt are also bound to remark, w hen the satisfaction of na ti o nal feelings is referred to, that it appears certain that a considerable number, perhaps two or three hundred thousand of the loyal Danish population, are transferred to a German State, and it is to be feared that the complaints hitherto made respecting the attempts to force the language of Denmark on the German subjects of a Danish Sovereign will be su cceeded b y complaints of i i P in the Conferencel pursuance of a t h e attempts to force the language o f e Ger many upon the Danish subjects of the German Sovereign, Her Majesty's Government h ad ho p e d that at least the districts suggestion f London, north by o t f h Flensburg a vPrussian been lerftunder the Danishlnotentiary would, RUSSELL Crown. If it is said that force has decided this question, and that the superiority of the arms of Austria and P russia over those of Denmark Wa s incontestable, the assertion must be ad ulated. But in that ease it is out of place to claim credit for equity an d moderatio n. Her Majesty's Government see with satisf ac ti on , how ever, that the wording of t of Christian Ist A r ti c l e fully admits by imp li ca tion the righ t an IX. to ru l e over th e D uc hies of Holstei n, Schleswi g , an d Lauenberg,for, if they were not his to hold, they could not Wills to give away. In cons id er i n g this ques tion her M ajesty's Government have always had in view the elements of a solid and durable p ea ce. Even in c ases were it is j u stifiable to depart from the settlement of established and recognised treaties, it is essential that the new settlement should not partake of the of allegiance aro required, weakness of the old —that when new elements of dominion conditions o f pea ce . rations should be satisfied, and ould willingly embrace as and new bonds It is in this point of view that her Majesty's Govern ment are anxious to see the destiny of the Duchies, which are now to be separated from Denmark, speedily and satis factorily settled. They desire to see the wishes of the people of these Duchies consulted on the choice of their permanent new future Sovereign, and to see the Duchies receive free con stitutional institutions. In this manner alone the welfare and peace of Europe as well as th 3 future tranquillity of the Duchies, will be secured, for her Majesty's Government cannot feel at all secure of the Prospects of lasting peace until the wishes of the people of Holstein, Schleswig, and Lauenburg"_have been fairly and fully consulted. An ar rangement which should set aeide those wishes and sup press free institutions would only be a new source of dis quiet and disturbance in Europe. You will read this despatch to M.

The Baths of Schwalbach. 0 - CIMALBACII, Sept. 18. The Empress of the French s till resides at this now celebrated place, and most assiduously does her Majesty continue to comply with the requirements ordained for the proper completion of a Bade cur. The weather has now undergone a charge for the worse, but it is still warm, although rain constantly falls. Notwithstanding this untoward condition of the elements, strangers continue to flock in, hoping to see the Empress, although the season here usually begins to wane at the commencement of this month. Hopes of seeing the Emperor are also expressed, as his Majesty is constantly expEc!ed. The questions, " Hest ll u sic geschen ? " " \Vie aicht sie deun aus? " are continually heard on every side, and although a hundred different answers are given by those who have been fortunate enough to see the august visitor, all are unanimous that a more amiable and engaging looking lady has never been seen here, and marked contrasts are drawn between her deportment—so affable and so condescending— and that of many other royal and princely perm sonages who have occasionally visited this little Brunnen. Her Majesty, in fact, has won all the hearts by her simple and unaffected manners, though it is conceded that the dignity of her exalted position has been fully maintained. Schwalbach is situated at a tolerable altitude, 900 feet above the sea level, and the mountain air which blows at this time of year is generally not only decidedly fresh, but even unmistakably cold at times. Up to the present time the weather has been quite exceptional, and especially during the stay of the Empress, for even if the nights are cold the days arc warm and sunny, like, in fact, what the Italians call the Madonna summer. The greater number of the visitors usually seen here have departed, so that accommodation can at last be found for the great influx of strangers still continuing to arrive, attracted by the presence of the Empress. Scores of carriages, heavily laden with sightseers, continue to come daily to this little town, partly from Wiesbaden, partly from the neighbouring watering place Schlaugenbad, partly from Eltville, the next station of the railway on the right bank of the Rhine, and from other places. Under any circumstances the hotel and house owners rejoice greatly, and estimate the visit of the Empress of the French at a greater commercial value than that of the Empress of All the Russias. Wiesbaden is now favoured with the visit of a circus, which is very good of its kind, but as the proprietors found that, the summer visitors having departed, the 21,000 regular inhabitants were either not sufficient in number to support their establish• mont, or were perhaps deficient in taste for cques. trian spectacle, they hit upon the expedient of publicly stating the t the Empress intended to honour the performance by a v isit on a given night. The I public, who seem to be as credulous here as in any other part of the civilised world, swallowed the bait and attended in numbers more than sufficient to fill the arena, without reflecting that it was scarcely probable that the. Empress's " cure" would be tated by a night journey from Schwalbach to Wies baden and back again. The result simply v, - s s, that the proprietors of the exhibition reaped a rich harvest, while the visitors had to deplore their d's sppeintment, and to content themselves os best tilt) , might. _ _ The subjoined list of the visitors 10 this place Ust year will serve to show zhe number ordinarily attending, and their nationality. The figures are taken from the official list, which shows that, of a total of 3,932, the German nation contributed 2,068; while of non-Germans there were 1,874, thus divided :—Russians 608, English 646, Americans 111, Dutch 163, French 167, Swiss 45, Moldavians and Waltuchiana 41, Italians 32, Belgians 30, Swedes 15, Algerians 8, while Tunis, China, East Portugal, and Persia contribute ono each.
